If You're Reading This

[00:06.01] If you're readin' this
[00:09.07] And my mama's sittin' there
[00:12.72] Looks like I only got a one way ticket over here
[00:19.52] I sure wish I could give you one more kiss
[00:25.94] And war was just a game we played when we were kids
[00:31.96] Well, I'm layin' down my gun
[00:35.97] I'm hangin' up my boots
[00:38.99] I'm up here with God, and we're both watchin' over you
[00:45.38] So lay me down
[00:52.22] In that open field, out on the edge of town
[00:58.82] And know my soul
[01:05.68] Is where my mama always prayed that it would go
[01:11.68] If you're readin' this
[01:14.21] I'm already home
[01:16.36]
[01:21.80] If you're readin' this
[01:24.96] Half way around the world
[01:28.93] I won't be there to see the birth of our little girl
[01:34.86] I hope she looks like you
[01:38.12] I hope she fights like me
[01:42.15] And stands up for the innocent and the weak
[01:48.75] I'm layin' down my gun
[01:52.78] I'm hangin' up my boots
[01:55.37] Tell dad I don't regret that I followed in his shoes
[02:02.16] So lay me down
[02:09.28] In that open field, out on the edge of town
[02:15.56] And know my soul
[02:22.42] Is where my mama always prayed that it would go
[02:28.42] If you're readin' this
[02:31.15] I'm already home
[02:34.80]
[02:42.54] If you're readin' this
[02:45.98] There's goin' to come a day
[02:49.55] You'll move on and find some one else, and that's ok
[02:55.79] Just remember this
[02:58.62] I'm in a better place
[03:02.78] Where soldiers live in peace
[03:05.33] And angels sing Amazing Grace
[03:09.58] So lay me down
[03:16.75] In that open field, out on the edge of town
[03:23.23] And know my soul
[03:30.07] Is where my mama always prayed that it would go
[03:36.07] If you're readin' this
[03:39.45] If you're readin' this
[03:41.86] I'm already home
[03:44.06]
